If you're an 8-year-old in Thailand, you'll soon be able to skip school and do something other than sit in front of the TV all day: learn to code.
The country's education ministry has launched a campaign to teach coding to all primary school students, reports the Nation.
"The Ministry of Education is continuing to prioritize science and coding as essential skills for school children," says a ministry statement.
"Aligned with the government's policy of improving teaching in sciences, innovation, and computing, the campaign aims to provide coding classes to primary school students in order to enhance the nation's capacity for innovation and create new researchers and innovators."
